Disparities in quality of life, social distress and employment outcomes in Australian cancer survivors

Victoria M. White et al.

Summary: The study explored the impact of socio-demographic factors, comorbidities, and information needs on the quality of life outcomes of cancer survivors. Findings showed that age, socio-economic disadvantage, comorbidities, and unmet information needs were associated with decreased quality of life scores, while higher social difficulties were related to socio-economic disadvantage, comorbidities, and unmet information needs. Comorbidities partially mediated the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on quality of life outcomes.

Association between Health-Related Quality of Life and Completion of First-Line Treatment among Lung Cancer Patients

Anne Katrine G. Levinsen et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at the time of diagnosis and the completion of planned first-line oncological treatment for lung cancer patients. The study found that patient with reduced function and patients reporting symptoms such as fatigue, pain, appetite loss, and financial difficulties were more likely to not complete the planned treatment. Assessing HRQOL may contribute to optimizing the treatment plan for lung cancer patients.

Eleni Kyriazidou et al.

Summary: This study examined the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and social support in elderly Greek lung and gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The results showed that most patients had moderate HRQoL, with the highest score in the Pain subscale and the lowest in the social function subscale. The level of social support was satisfactory, with married and higher educated patients scoring higher. Patients aged 65-75 reported better HRQoL and greater social support. There were positive correlations between the HRQoL subscales and social support.
